I've already had a massive post about this before, but when I was diagnosed with ADD I had no idea how much of my life it was affecting.

Until I saw this video about 3 years ago, it shook me to my core, everything he said lined up and made sense now. I used to go by the name BallisticGe0rge because of my short temper. I always thought that was just who I was, but this explained it.

Edit - Here's the entire series of his presentation, anyone dealing with ADHD should definitely watch it.

One minute through the first video, this is amazing! I wonder what else is on youtube...

I lasted 30 seconds. Bookmarked it, and will never have a look at it again.

No joke I'm literally doing this with "History of the world i guess" right now. Maybe I'll watch it a few mins from now, but it's been on that list since it came out. Not sure what I'm waiting for. I loved the first one and all that Bill Wurtz has done. Maybe I want to preserve it because when I watch it that'll be it. Maybe I'm afraid it won't be as good. Maybe I'm torn between redditing, finishing work for a potential client, self-indulging in creating music only I want, and sleeping. Or maybe just depressed. Anyway I should go watch that.

Edit: Didn't watch it. Going to bed.

I lasted 30 seconds.

Depending on the streaming site, this sentence has very different meanings.

I can relate. That's why I have like 300 bookmarks and 300 unloaded tabs on firefox. The browser was slow as hell.

So I just downloaded Chrome instead but the bookmarks are piling up. Already got Opera ready just in case.

Jeez. It isn't that bad over here. Close some damn tabs man!

I'm a bit different on this one. I am genuinely curious about my disorder so sitting through that one video was a delight. The proceeding videos, however, well... those will definitely be watched later.

u/[deleted] May 30 '17

I watched the one you posted but than when I started watching the second one I got distracted even though it was really interesting.

Adding it to my read later last from 2004

I haven't even watched the video yet. I got pulled into the comments.

Download it as audio, put it on your phone, or in your car. Listen while driving, running, or cleaning. Only way I get through things like this.

u/[deleted] May 31 '17

Damnit. Why haven't I thought about this... I literally been sitting the park the last three hours spacing out on clouds while listening to LBC.

GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!

u/glorioussideboob May 30 '17

Watched the first video and disagree. How can he say that it's only delay? There are archetypal traits in ADHD that you simply will not find (or won't find to the same degree) in most people of any age.
